Local sequence alignment of heme related genes was carried out with BLAST (Bl2seq). Percentage identical nucleotides, number of nucleotides in alignment and e-values are listed. † = The canid hemoglobin alpha and zeta chains were retrieved from ESTs and have been annotated by comparison with human mRNA sequences. * = clone from array, sequenced in our laboratory. n.s. = no significant similarity found.
